The Supreme Court will hear tomorrow a contempt plea by senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, who has said he was threatened for appearing on behalf of Muslim parties in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case.

The petition was mentioned on Monday by senior lawyer Kapil Sibal before a five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi for urgent hearing.

"We are listing the matter for tomorrow," Justice Gogoi said.&nbsp;

The Ayodhya case is being heard by the bench. Dhavan, who is appearing for Sunni Central Waqf Board, had filed the contempt petition against Chennai-based Professor N Shanmugam for allegedly threatening him and asking him not to appear for the Muslim parties in the case.

According to the petition, Dhavan received a letter dated August 14, 2019, from Shanmugam, allegedly threatening him.

The plea filed through Advocate-on-Record Ejaz Maqbool has sought initiation of contempt proceedings against Shanmugam.

Ayodhya case: Supreme Court to hear tomorrow contempt plea of senior advocate

The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed a top mobile company official to be present before it in a contempt case filed by former Indian cricket team skipper MS Dhoni.

In a complaint filed, Dhoni alleged&nbspthat the firm was using his name by projecting him as its brand ambassador despite the termination of the agreement between them way back in December 2012.

Justice V Kameswar Rao asked the CMD of Maxx Mobilink Ltd, Ajjay Agarwal, to appear in the court on October 12.&nbsp

The court was hearing a petition filed by Dhoni seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against the company's CMD for defying its November 17, 2014 direction asking Maxx Mobilink to refrain from selling any products&nbspusing the name of the cricketer in commercials.

During the hearing, the court asked Dhoni's counsel what prejudice was caused to him.

His counsel J S Lamba said the company was using the cricketer's name without paying him. He also said that the court had on April 21, 2016 directed the contemnor to appear before it.

The court had in January last year pulled up the top official of the firm after taking note of the plea of the former captain that its orders have been defied by them.

It had also passed a similar order on April 21, 2016 asking Agarwal to inform about the steps taken to comply with the 2014 direction asking the firm to refrain from selling any product, claiming to be endorsed by Dhoni.

The firm's counsel had said it had never indulged in misusing Dhoni's name to take any advantage.

Dhoni had an endorsement agreement with the company which had expired in December 2012.

Earlier, the court had asked Maxx to give details of the steps taken by it to remove Dhoni's name and photograph from social media sites including its website and Facebook.

The November 2014 direction was passed on a plea by Dhoni and Rhiti Sports, alleging that Maxx Mobilink had not paid dues worth crores of rupees which was agreed upon for using the cricketer's name on their products.

Dhoni's counsel had said the endorsement agreement between him and the company had expired in December 2012, but Maxx was still using his name to sell its products and not paying him the dues.

The cricketer, in his contempt plea, has also sought a direction to seize all the products/mobile handsets and such other articles where his name and image is being used to sell and promote these products.&nbsp
